Sadly, it's usually true, when you buy them from the store. You can avoid months of warehouse time, shelf time, and price mark ups, by buying directly from the vendor. Jarrow Formulas will send them in ice packs, wrapped in carbon fiber, directly to you.

Nothing compliments a probiotic (new good bacteria) better than a prebiotic(inulin fiber pushes out bad bacteria).

A Digestive Enzyme is A Supplement You Should Be Taking

The first blog we posted was on digestive enzymes.

My biggest influence in my approach to guide my health, and the way I approach nutrition is based on a book I received after an Enzymedica training. I NEVER had a clue how important enzymes were.

Tom Bohager wrote an excellent book that explains how enzymes work. He writes it in such a way that a child could understand how enzymes work. It also comes with a guide of how to use enzymes, for almost any situation.

In my Top 10 Top Tips, I wrote about the tools to be successful. It included this book. Tom Bohager(6)is the founder of Enzymedica and the Autism Hope Alliance. His companies not only have the BEST products, they have the BEST social media sites (they answer all your questions, and are extremely helpful), and great prices.

Why should we supplement with Enzymes? #1, because we don't have them.

As we age we make less and less enzymes. We need 26 minerals and vitamins, but not 1 can do there job without enzymes.

"Enzymes help speed up chemical reactions in the human body." (Instead of taking 90 years to get vitamin C from an orange, it happens instantly.)

"They bind to molecules and alter them in specific ways.

"They are essential for respiration, digesting food, muscle and nerve function, among thousands of other roles."

Genf20(8) provides insightful on enzymes:

"Over 3,000 of these have already been identified and certain experts are saying about 50,000 more have yet to be identified."

"Researchers have shown that the ability of the body to produce enzymes starts to slump as early as age 20"

When I started taking digest gold, I stopped taking many other supplements. I did not need them. I was actually starting to get nutrition from the food I was eating.

The 2 reasons we need supplements are

#1 There isn't as much nutrition in the food we are eating.

#2 With less enzymes, we aren't absorbing what we are getting.

People like myself who GROW to become lactose intolerant, or gluten sensitive, etc. We weren't born that way but our bodies stop making those enzymes.When you wonder what supplement you should take, enzymes are a must.

Digest spectrum covers multiple food intolerance's.

Gluten, Phenol, Lactose and Casein sensitivities are getting the enzymes that your body either quit or never made.

They are certified NON-GMO, Vegan, Kosher and Gluten Free.

Want to lose excess weight? You eat less, because your body isn't craving as much. You don't need as many supplements because you are getting more from your food.

BUT...

Like probiotics, you have to be careful what you get. Even more so, with enzymes than probiotics. If you have enzymes CHECK THE LABEL, some cheaper brands use ingredients such as OX BILE.

Ox bile(9) can initiate colon cancer, and have a reputation for causing stomach distress.

If you have a gallbladder it can be toxic to you. It can trigger gallbladder attacks.

Enzymedica has another distinct advantage over there competitors. They have the patented Thera-blend process. It covers the entire G.I. tract.

Our digestive tract is long, the average enzyme will break down in our stomach. Our stomach is acidic, our stomach acids will break down the average enzyme supplement.

It also comes for kids. It tastes great and has absolutely no fishy taste to it. It tastes like yogurt.

If you are walking in to the health store or are considering what supplements you should take, remember the importance of alkalizing your body and boosting your brain. It does not take a ton of supplements. Just a few. A probiotic, digestive enzymes, trace minerals, and fish oil are good for everyone.
